🌿 RosemaryThyme Cozy Autumn Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Mini Loaves

Makes approximately 4 mini loaves
 Pan size: approximately 5ΒΎ Γ— 3 inches

🍁 INGREDIENTS

β€’ 1Β½ cups oat flour (about 180 g), such as Bob’s Red Mill
 β€’ 1 cup Great Value Superfine Blanched Almond Flour (about 112 g)
 β€’ 1 teaspoon Great Value Baking Powder
 β€’ Β½ teaspoon Great Value Baking Soda
 β€’ 2 teaspoons Great Value Organic Ground Cinnamon
 β€’ Β½ teaspoon Great Value Organic Ground Ginger
 β€’ ΒΌ teaspoon Great Value Organic Ground Nutmeg
 β€’ β…› teaspoon Great Value Organic Ground Cloves, optional
 β€’ ΒΌ teaspoon salt
 β€’ 3 large eggs
 β€’ 1 cup Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin
 β€’ β…“ cup Great Value Pure Maple Syrup
 β€’ ΒΌ cup Great Value Olive Oil or a neutral oil
 β€’ 2 teaspoons Great Value Pure Vanilla Extract
 β€’ Β½ cup Great Value Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Chips
 β€’ Β½ cup Great Value Chopped Walnuts, toasted and cooled

🍁 DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350Β°F. Lightly grease four mini loaf pans and line with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang for lifting.
  2. Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for about 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture just until combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so the oat flour can absorb some moisture. Fold in the chocolate chips and cooled walnuts.
  6. Divide the batter among the prepared pans, filling each approximately two-thirds full. Sprinkle a few reserved chocolate chips and walnuts on top, if desired.
  7. Bake for approximately 28–38 minutes, beginning to check at 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the bread, away from a chocolate chip, should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then carefully lift onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing.

🍁 RECIPE NOTES

β€’ Use pure pumpkinβ€”not pumpkin pie filling.
 β€’ Mini loaf pans vary in size, so the yield and baking time may vary. Bake any extra batter in a muffin cup, checking it earlier.
 β€’ These loaves are delicate while warm. Cooling completely helps them hold together when sliced.
 β€’ This is a newly developed recipe; baking time may need adjusting after the first batch.

🌿 A little RosemaryThyme note

There is something comforting about baking a little goodness into an ordinary day. A small pumpkin loaf, a favorite mug, and a quiet moment at home can make an autumn afternoon feel special. πŸ‚πŸ’›πŸ‘

Colonial Apple Tansey

🍎 Cast-Iron Apple Tansey

πŸ’› QUESTION OF THE DAY:

If you could sit down at your family table with one ancestor, who would it be and what would you ask them?

I have always loved recipes with a story behind them, and this one may be one of my favorites.

Recently, I was reading through the America 250 Cookbook, a collection of historic and regional American recipes, when I came across an old-fashioned dish called an Apple Tansey. Originally brought from England and adapted by early American colonists, it is somewhere between a skillet custard, a baked pancake, and a frittata.

What makes it especially meaningful to me is that my own family came from England around 1650 and settled in Virginia. As I stood in my kitchen reading about this humble dish of apples, eggs, milk, and butter, I couldn’t help but wonder if one of my ancestors may have made something very much like this over an open hearth centuries ago.

There is something comforting about preparing a recipe that has traveled through generations. It reminds us that while the world changes, gathering around the table remains one of life’s greatest blessings.

🍎 Cast-Iron Apple Tansey

Ingredients:

β€’ 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced

β€’ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

β€’ 1 tablespoon lemon juice

β€’ 4 large eggs

β€’ Β½ cup milk (whole milk, 1% milk, or unsweetened almond milk)

β€’ 1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon Swerve Granular

β€’ 1 teaspoon cinnamon

β€’ ΒΌ teaspoon nutmeg

β€’ Pinch of salt (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375Β°F.

2. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

3. Add apples and lemon juice and cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly softened.

4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar or Swerve, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

5. Spread apples evenly in the skillet.

6. Pour the egg mixture over the apples.

7. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until puffed and lightly golden.

8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Optional:

Dust lightly with powdered sugar or powdered Swerve, drizzle with a little maple syrup, or serve with a spoonful of vanilla yogurt.

πŸ’› Blessing

May we never forget the stories carried to our tables by those who came before us. May our homes be filled with gratitude for their sacrifices, joy in the meals we share today, and hope for the generations who will gather around our tables tomorrow.

Rosemary Thyme Harvest Apple Pie Baked Beans

#WalmartPartner β€” As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

There’s something about apples and cinnamon that makes the kitchen feel like fall. πŸŽπŸ‚

Apple pie baked beans sounded so cozy to me, but I wanted to make my own version with plain navy beans, fresh apples, and a homemade sauce. A little unsweetened applesauce adds sweetness and body, with just a touch of maple syrup if you’d like.

🌿 Rosemary Thyme Harvest Apple Pie Baked Beans
Fresh apples, tender navy beans, and a cozy homemade sauce
Makes about 6 servings

🍎 Ingredients

β€’ 3 cups cooked navy beans, drainedβ€”home-cooked or about 2 cans of plain navy beans, drained and rinsed
β€’ 2 medium Cosmic Crisp or Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and diced
β€’ Β½ cup no-salt-added tomato sauce
β€’ Β½ cup Great Value Organic Unsweetened Applesauce
β€’ ΒΌ cup water, plus more if needed
β€’ 1 tablespoon Great Value Pure Maple Syrup, optional
β€’ 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
β€’ 1 teaspoon dry mustard
β€’ ΒΎ teaspoon ground cinnamon
β€’ ΒΌ teaspoon smoked paprika
β€’ A small pinch of ground nutmeg
β€’ β…› teaspoon black pepper

πŸ‚ Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F. Lightly grease a small baking dish, about 1½–2 quarts.
  2. In a bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, applesauce, water, vinegar, mustard, cinnamon, smoked paprika, nutmeg, and pepper. Taste and add the optional maple syrup if you’d like a little more sweetness.
  3. Gently fold in the cooked navy beans and diced apples. Spoon into the prepared baking dish and cover with a lid or foil.
  4. Bake covered for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15–20 minutes, until the apples are tender and the sauce is bubbling and thickened. Ovens vary; add a splash of water if the beans become too thick.
  5. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

🌿 Recipe Notes

β€’ If using dried navy beans, cook them fully until tender before starting this recipe. Add the tomato sauce and vinegar after the beans are cooked.
β€’ Sweet apples may give you enough sweetness to skip the maple syrup entirely.
β€’ This recipe has no added salt, onion, or garlic. For less sodium, choose plain no-salt-added beans or cook your own without salt.
β€’ Serve alongside roasted chicken or pork, or enjoy with a crisp fall salad.

πŸ’› A little RosemaryThyme note

Making a dish from simple ingredients lets us choose what goes into itβ€”and adjust the sweetness to suit our own table. These beans bring a little apple-pie warmth to a comforting fall side dish. 🍎🏑

Rosemary Thyme Herb-Seared Cod & Cozy Creamy Grits

Shrimp and Grits Elegant little cousin.

Some meals have a way of making a house feel especially cozy. For me, there is something comforting about a warm skillet on the stove, the aroma of herbs in the kitchen, and a simple supper shared around the table.

This recipe reminds me of one of those meals. It has all the comfort of a Southern-style fish and grits supper, but with a lighter farmhouse touch. Tender cod is seasoned with rosemary, thyme, and smoked paprika, then gently seared until golden and flaky. Served over creamy grits, it creates a meal that feels both nourishing and comforting.

I often think that the best comfort food isn’t necessarily the richest meal on the table. Sometimes it’s simply a wholesome supper made with care, enjoyed in the quiet rhythm of home.

Ingredients

For the Herb-Seared Cod

β€’ 1 pound wild-caught cod fillets, cut into large chunks

β€’ ΒΌ teaspoon powdered thyme

β€’ Black pepper to taste

β€’ Fresh lemon wedges for serving

β€’ 1 cup old-fashioned grits

β€’ 4 cups water or low-sodium broth

β€’ 1 tablespoon butter

β€’ ΒΌ cup milk or light cream (optional)

β€’ Black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Bring water or broth to a gentle boil.

2. Slowly whisk in the grits.

3. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until creamy, about 10–15 minutes.

4. Stir in butter, milk or cream if using, and black pepper. Keep warm.

5. Pat cod pieces dry.

6. Toss gently with oil, smoked paprika, celery powder, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper until evenly coated.

7. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

8. Add cod in a single layer and sear 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and flaky.

9. Spoon creamy grits into bowls.

10. Top with herb-seared cod.

11. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.

🌿 Blessing

May your home be filled with simple meals, grateful hearts, and the kind of comfort that comes from gathering around the table with those you love. May every meal nourish both body and spirit. Amen.

The Joys and the Puddles

🌿 Sunday Reflection β€” The Joys and the Puddles

β€œIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”
 β€” Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

One evening this week, I was downstairs keeping Dennis company as he recovered from surgery. Zach had been out with friends and had just come home. It was late, and we were all tired.

Then I discovered a large puddle of water on the basement floor.

After a little investigating, I opened the upright freezer and realized the door wasn’t closing tightly. Things had begun to defrost. I was relieved we weren’t dealing with a broken pipe, but it was still one more thing to figure out before bedtime.

This house has had more than its share of puddles. We’ve dealt with sewer backups, water seeping in from saturated ground, roof and attic ventilation problems, and peeling paint inside. Over the years, we’ve discovered things we never knew we needed to learnβ€”and somehow, together, we’ve worked our way through them.

That evening brought Dickens’s words to mind. There was Dennis, home and healing, and all of us together under our roof. There was also water on the floor.

Both were part of the same evening.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about my daughter, Olivia, newly married and making a home with her husband. There is such sweetness in beginning: decorating rooms, planting a garden, cooking meals, and imagining the life those walls will hold.

Watching her brings back memories of our own beginning, before we knew all that a home and a marriage would ask of us.

You begin with dreams. Along the way, you learn about repairs, unexpected expenses, unexpected health issues, tired evenings, and changing plans. You also learn how much it means to have someone beside you, helping figure out what to do next.

β€œBear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”
 β€” Galatians 6:2, KJV

I find such tenderness in that little verse. Sometimes carrying one another’s burdens means sitting beside someone as they heal. Sometimes it means listening patiently. And sometimes it means coming downstairs when someone calls because there’s water on the floor.

My wish for Olivia and her husband is a home filled with laughter, kindness, good meals, and beautiful memories. And when something needs tending, I hope they find comfort in each otherβ€”and can sometimes laugh about it afterward.

After all these years, I look around our house and see more than the things we’ve had to fix. I see the life we’ve lived here, the people I love, and so much to thank God for.

There have been so many tired eveningsβ€”health worries, house problems, and other burdens we never could have anticipated when we began. Yet tonight, beneath all the weariness, there was something beautiful to remember:

After all these years, we have faced it together.

And for that, I am grateful.

Even on an evening with a puddle.

Slow Cooker Dublin Coddle

πŸ€ Rosemary Thyme Slow Cooker Dublin Coddle

(Traditional Irish Sausage & Potato Stew β€’ Crockpot Cozy)

There are some dishes that feel like they came straight from an old Irish kitchen… and Dublin coddle is one of them. πŸ’›

This humble farmhouse stew was meant to simmer slowly and gently, filling the home with warmth while the day quietly unfolded. For my Rosemary Thyme version, I kept the traditional spirit β€” mild pork sausage, tender potatoes, sweet onion β€” and adapted it for the slow cooker so it fits beautifully into modern home life.

It’s simple. It’s hearty. And it’s the kind of cozy meal that feels like a hug in a bowl.

─────────────────────

🧾 Ingredients

 β€’ 1 lb mild pork sausages (such as Johnsonville Original Bratwurst or similar brat-style links)

 β€’ 4 slices center-cut bacon, chopped

 β€’ 1 large sweet onion, sliced

 β€’ 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thick sliced

 β€’ 3 cups unsalted chicken broth

 β€’ 1Β½ teaspoons Rosemary Thyme Herb Blend

 β€’ Β½ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

 β€’ Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

✨ Optional gentle finish: tiny pinch of fleur de sel per bowl

─────────────────────

🌿 Rosemary Thyme Herb Blend

(If you don’t already have it mixed)

 β€’ 1 teaspoon powdered rosemary

 β€’ 1 teaspoon powdered thyme

 β€’ 1 teaspoon garlic powder

 β€’ 1 teaspoon onion powder

 β€’ Β½ teaspoon smoked paprika

 β€’ Β½ teaspoon black pepper

Mix and store in a small jar for everyday cooking.

─────────────────────

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions (Slow Cooker Method)

1️⃣ Build the flavor

In a skillet over medium heat:

 β€’ Cook chopped bacon until just beginning to crisp.

 β€’ Add bratwurst and brown lightly on all sides (they do not need to cook through).

 β€’ Add sliced onions and cook 5 minutes until softened.

✨ This step creates the traditional coddle flavor.

βΈ»

2️⃣ Layer in the slow cooker

Transfer everything to the crockpot and layer:

 β€’ half the potatoes

 β€’ half the onion/meat mixture

 β€’ remaining potatoes

 β€’ remaining onion/meat mixture

βΈ»

3️⃣ Season and cook

 β€’ Sprinkle 1Β½ teaspoons Rosemary Thyme Herb Blend and black pepper.

 β€’ Pour in 3 cups unsalted chicken broth around the edges.

 β€’ Cover and cook:

LOW: 6–7 hours (best texture)

or

HIGH: 3–4 hours

Until potatoes are very tender.

βΈ»

4️⃣ Gentle finish

 β€’ Taste and adjust pepper if needed.

 β€’ Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

⚠️ Avoid excessive stirring β€” coddle is meant to stay softly layered and brothy.

─────────────────────

🌿 Special Kitchen Notes

Sausage guidance:

Traditional Dublin coddle uses mild pork β€œbangers.” In American kitchens, Johnsonville Original Bratwurst or any mild fresh brat-style pork sausage is the closest and most reliable substitute. Avoid breakfast sausage, smoked sausage, or strongly flavored varieties.

 β€’ Yukon Gold potatoes give the creamiest texture.

 β€’ Coddle should be brothy, not thick like stew.

 β€’ LOW heat gives the most traditional result.

 β€’ Flavor deepens beautifully the next day.

─────────────────────

πŸ€ Perfect Pairings

 β€’ Rosemary Thyme Irish Rustic Brown Bread

 β€’ Simple cabbage side

 β€’ Buttered toast

 β€’ Cozy St. Patrick’s table

From their tables to mine β€” and from my table to yours. May this humble Irish pot bring warmth to your kitchen, comfort to your table, and joy to those you love. πŸ’›πŸ€

The Last Tomatoes of the Season

πŸ…πŸ‚ The Last Tomatoes of the Season

My kitchen is looking a little like a tomato nursery these days! I’m gathering as many tomatoes as I can before frost arrives and spreading them out on cookie sheets to finish ripening indoors.

Some are still green, others are turning golden orange, and a few are already beautifully red. It’s such a pleasure to bring in these last little gifts from the garden and enjoy the harvest a little longer.

And yes… I can already see a pot of roasted tomato soup in my future! A warm bowl of soup, a slice of crusty bread, and a cool autumn evening sound just about perfect. πŸ₯£πŸž

Are you gathering the last of your garden harvest, too? I’d love to hear what you’re bringing inside!

🍎🍠 Slow Cooker Apple Gouda Sausage & Sweet Potatoes

#WalmartPartner β€” As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

🍎🍠 Slow Cooker Apple Gouda Sausage & Sweet Potatoes

There’s something about fall that makes me want to bring out the slow cooker and fill the kitchen with the cozy scents of apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and warm spices.

This simple slow-cooker dinner combines Apple & Gouda chicken sausage with sweet potatoes, apples, and a touch of maple syrup for an easy sweet-and-savory meal. Everything cooks together gently while the slow cooker does the work β€” perfect for a busy autumn afternoon.

Serves: 4–6

Ingredients

β€’ 1 package Amylu Apple & Gouda Chicken Sausages, about 12 ounces
β€’ 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾–1-inch cubes
β€’ 1 large sweet onion, cut into chunks
β€’ 2 apples, cored and cubed β€” Cosmic Crisp, Honeycrisp, or Gala work nicely
β€’ Β½ cup Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth
β€’ 2 tablespoons Great Value Pure Maple Syrup
β€’ Β½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
β€’ ΒΌ teaspoon ground ginger
β€’ ΒΌ teaspoon black pepper
β€’ Β½ teaspoon Rosemary Thyme House Blend

Rosemary Thyme House Blend

β€’ 1 teaspoon powdered rosemary
β€’ 1 teaspoon powdered thyme
β€’ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
β€’ 1 teaspoon onion powder
β€’ Β½ teaspoon smoked paprika
β€’ Β½ teaspoon black pepper
β€’ No added salt

Mix together well and store the remaining blend in an airtight container.

Directions

  1. Place the sweet potatoes and onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Add the cubed apples. If you prefer your apples to hold their shape a little more, you can add them during the last 1½–2 hours of cooking instead.
  3. Arrange the Apple & Gouda chicken sausages over the vegetables and apples.
  4. Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the slow cooker.
  5. Drizzle the maple syrup over the sausages and vegetables.
  6. Sprinkle everything with the cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and Rosemary Thyme House Blend.
  7. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sausage is thoroughly heated according to package directions.
  8. Gently stir before serving, spooning a little of the warm apple-maple mixture over each sausage.

Notes

🍎 Choose a firm apple. Cosmic Crisp or Honeycrisp holds up especially well in the slow cooker.

🍠 Keep the sweet potato pieces fairly uniform so they cook at the same rate.

🌿 For an onion-free version, leave out the sweet onion and add chopped chives or sliced green onion tops near the end.

🍁 If you like a little extra maple flavor, drizzle a teaspoon or two over the finished dish just before serving.

A little Rosemary Thyme note

This is one of those simple meals that makes the house smell like fall. The apples become tender, the sweet potatoes soak up the maple and spices, and the Apple & Gouda sausage gives the whole dish a wonderful savory balance.

Easy, cozy, and just right for a cool autumn evening. πŸ‚πŸ‘

Farmhouse Rotisserie Chicken Thighs

Farmhouse Rotisserie Chicken Thighs

πŸ’› QUESTION OF THE DAY:

Do you ever buy a rotisserie chicken and use the leftovers for meals throughout the week?

There are times when we crave the flavor of a good rotisserie chicken at home, but I don’t always want to roast a whole chicken. I started experimenting with ways to capture that same savory, slightly smoky flavor using boneless skinless chicken thighs, and this recipe has become a favorite.

The chicken marinates in herbs and seasonings, then bakes slowly over sweet onions, carrots, and celery. A buttery smoked paprika glaze brushed on at the end gives it that delicious rotisserie-style flavor we all love.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that I always make extra. We enjoy it for dinner the first night, then use the leftovers throughout the week for salads, sandwiches, wraps, soups, and quick lunches. A little extra cooking today often means a lot less work tomorrow.

🌿 Farmhouse Rotisserie Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

For the Marinade:

β€’ 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

β€’ 2 tablespoons olive oil

β€’ 1 tablespoon lemon juice

β€’ 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

β€’ 1 teaspoon onion powder

β€’ Β½ teaspoon garlic powder

β€’ Β½ teaspoon dried thyme

β€’ Β½ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

β€’ Β½ teaspoon poultry seasoning

β€’ Β½ teaspoon black pepper

β€’ 1 teaspoon honey

β€’ ΒΎ teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)

For the Baking Dish:

β€’ 1 large sweet onion, sliced

β€’ 2 ribs celery, cut into chunks

β€’ 2 carrots, cut into chunks

β€’ ΒΌ cup unsalted chicken broth

Rotisserie Butter Glaze:

β€’ 2 tablespoons melted butter

β€’ Β½ teaspoon smoked paprika

β€’ ΒΌ teaspoon poultry seasoning

β€’ Pinch black pepper

Directions

1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl or zip-top bag.

2. Add chicken thighs and coat well.

3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

4. Preheat oven to 350Β°F.

5. Scatter onions, celery, and carrots in a 9 x 13 baking dish.

6. Pour in the chicken broth.

7. Arrange chicken over the vegetables.

8. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

9. Remove foil and continue baking 15–20 minutes longer, until the chicken reaches 175–185Β°F.

10. Stir together glaze ingredients.

11. Brush generously over the chicken during the last 5 minutes of baking.

12. Rest 5–10 minutes before serving.

🌿 Blessing

May your home be filled with simple meals, grateful hearts, and the comfort that comes from gathering around the table with those you love.
